Christmas Break

Locked the keys in my car this morning while scraping frost off the window screen. Doh. Happily that very, very nice AA man arrived within 30 mins and 10 seconds later the car was unlocked. Gosh these things are easy to break into once you know how.

Drove into the great city listening to Nick Ferrari interviewing Satan (Ken Livingstone is the name he uses on earth at the moment, Satan, not Nick Ferrari). When quizzed on the £2½ million of taxpayers’ money his mates had frittered away Satan gave remarkably calm and reasoned answers without actually promising to do anything about it. That’s so typical of Labour; either

1) it’s not my fault it was [name an official usually junior] (used by all of them)
2) I wasn’t there (Gordon)
3) what’s important now is [insert spurious statement] (a labour favourite – anything rather than address the issue)
4) It’s the tories wot dun it (has crept back into usage as labours incompetence becomes increasingly apparent)
5) The Tories are just as bad (but they’re not and even if they were that’s not the point).

Anyway, must go and do that last minute X-mas shopping.

Wishing everyone (anyone?) who reads this a Merry Christmas

Hello Nick - you have opened my eyes to Ken :P - what a great name :)

Those excuses are incredibly accurate - Ken Livingstone only recently said after the whole Lee Jasper scandal at City Hall that 'the Tories have sex scandals, why can't we?'

Shocking.

Oh and Merry Christmas :)
